Cordory Enduro
Building Trails and Running a Test Section
The Corduroy Enduro, an annual off-road motorcycle race held in the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve in Ontario. The Corduroy Enduro is one of the most challenging off-road races in Canada and attracts riders from all over the country.
NTR played a significant role in building and running the test section at the Corduroy Enduro. Club members volunteered their time and expertise to design and build the obstacles, ensuring that they were safe and challenging for riders. NTR also provided volunteers to help run the test section during the race, ensuring that riders were safe and that the section ran smoothly.
The club's involvement in the Corduroy Enduro is a testament to its commitment to promoting off-road motorcycle riding in Ontario. By helping to build and run the test section, NTR was able to showcase its expertise in trail building and maintenance, as well as its commitment to rider safety.
NTR / Corduroy Trail Preparation
We need 10 or so people on August 22 or 23, who will split into two groups to survey and clear the seven-kilometer Boardwalk trail (NTR trail).
One group will come in from each end of the trail, clearing as they go. When the groups meet we will have lunch (and probably brag about how much each group has accomplished).
There isn’t a lot of work to do, but a few trees have fallen over winter and of course, grass and saplings grow every year. One easy day should have this trail in pristine condition for the Corduroy Enduro on September 20 - 23.
Each group should have an atv, a chainsaw, a heavy duty weed eater and some pruners. NTR have an ATV and the Corduroy also have one so we only have to get then on site.
Your motorcycle is optional as each section of trail will only be 3 klm or 6 Klm in total after walking back.
This being a mid-week exercise it will certainly be populated by us retired old farts and those self-employed. Dan Ryan, Paul Rivers, Ron Elmy, Keith Lamb, Jamie Talbot, Steve Rossiter, Warren Thaxter and Blair Sharpless have committed so far. So don’t be left out of this ‘elete’ group of individuals, call today!
